Las Vegas Aces centre A’ja Wilson won a record fourth Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) Most Valuable Player award — and second in a row — on Sept 21 in one of the tightest-ever races, to cap an incredible revival that saw her team flip from playoff doubtfuls to championship contenders.

Wilson reached 657 points after receiving 51 of 72 first-place votes and 21 second-place votes from a national panel of sportswriters and broadcasters.

Minnesota Lynx forward Na-pheesa Collier finished second with 534 points, followed by Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas with 391 points.

“My team knows that this hasn’t been easy for us. They counted us out and wrote us off, but we showed up every single day. It has my name on it... but this is for all of us,” Wilson said after receiving the award.

The win caps an incredible mid-season turnaround for the Aces and Wilson's chances at the MVP crown.
